DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo Academy

DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo Academy provides continuing education in permanent makeup for artists who are already licensed. The academy states that its courses do not provide licensing. Instruction is led by Master Trainers who also work at DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo, and the academy was co-founded by Erica and Lina. In-person classes are two-day intensives that include a live model, in one-on-one or two-on-one formats. Each includes a pro kit, a manual and a certificate of course completion. Class subjects include microblading, ombre powder brows, lip blush, eyeliner tattoo, scar camouflage and areola restoration tattoo.

The academy also offers online master courses and specialty online courses in scar camouflage, stretch mark revision and areola restoration. Their site notes that correct depth and pressure cannot be learned online and need in-person mentorship. It suggests that students limit practice to pencil sketching before supervised training. A free membership gives access to an educational library.
